Woman from Brick dies when her car flips over Parkway guardrail

A 53-year-old Brick Township woman was killed tonight when her car flipped over a guardrail on the Garden State Parkway in Tinton Falls.

Kathleen Franco was driving in the center northbound lane near milepost 105 when her Mercury sedan drifted to the right, flipped over a guardrail and landed on its roof on a grassy embankment, State Police said.

The accident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. No other vehicles were involved, and it is not clear why Franco lost control of the vehicle, said State Police Sgt. Julian Castellanos.

Franco, who was partially ejected from the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. There were no other passengers in the car.
